Termshark is a command line user interface, inspired by Wireshark. Resources

• Read pcap files or analyze active interfaces (with appropriate permissions)
• Filter pcaps or live captures using Wireshark display filters
• Reassemble and inspect TCP and UDP streams
• View network conversations by protocol
• Copy package ranges to the terminal clipboard
• Written in Golang, it compiles into a single executable on each platform - downloads available for Linux, macOS, FreeBSD, Android (termux) and Windows.

Installation

First you need to install Go, for that use the package manager of your distribution, examples:

emerge go # Gentoo, Funtoo, ...
sudo apt install go # Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, ...
sudo pacman -S go # Arch, Manjaro, ...
sudo dnf install go # Red Hat, CentOS, Fedora, ...

Also install the dependencies:

• tshark - command line network protocol analyzer, part of Wireshark
• tcell - a cell-based terminal management package, inspired by termbox
• gowid - composition terminal user interface widgets, inspired by urwid, built in tcell

After that just use the go command to install:

go get github.com/gcla/termshark/v2/cmd/termshark

And include the path in your $PATH variable, example:

echo 'export PATH="${PATH}:~/go/bin/' | tee -a ~/.bashrc
